|
|
Hello im Steve (16) and just became a member of this place because i just have gotten a renewed intrest in one of my favorite games from long ago. The main reason reason I have a renewed interest is because my friends and I been planneing on haveing a LAN party for a while but have never found a game that each of our computers could run ( some of us have more money than others) I thought about Close combat when i came across its review at gamespot.com and thought it was a simple enough game for beginners, a non graphically demanding game, and not to mention very fun. I lost my CD years ago but still remember the game like yesterday. I just got a copy of it off of amazon. So with a simple introduction I have a few questions.
1. Is there a cd key for this game?
2. Has anyone burned copys of it using Nero or anything similar? (is it possible?) i dont want anyone to get all legal on me, but we just want to have fun as at a LAN party and i dont plan on selling it.
Thanks for reading and respond soon if you have any thoughts. |

1. no
2. possible but not allowed. the original game can be bought on ebay for little money, so given the price of the raw CD you might consider adding 1$ to your expenses and get the game before it disappears from the market. |

Welcome to the site. All original copies are available on torrent sites. Once you get them use the mod install guides here, I reccomend Utah and GJS to start. |

Utah and GJS don't work on CC4.
Please don't encourage piracy of intellectual property. |

This kinda reminds me of a movie I saw a long time ago, and I just cant remember its name.
But in the movie, the media pirates, boarded some ship (18th century?), and then fought their way to the captains quarters where there was a chest of pirate booty.
Anyway, they blew off the lock on the chest with a flintlock pistol, only to discover, the chest contained beta format video cassettes, which of course, were not compatible with anyones system.

An "ISO" file is an image of a CD. You burn it on to a blank CD-R with burning software like "Nero" or "EZ CD Creator". Read the programs "help" file for more info.
Just buy a copy of the game you want from an "eBay store", for cheap!. You won't have to worry about viruses, & other unwanted stuff. |

That would be the "self destuct" time bomb built into the pirated code.
Check for any missing personal files and bank passwords as well. |

It starting to look like when you blew open the chest, you got beta format cassettes instead of VHS, please keep us posted. |

It happens, pirated or not. I have had the same thing happen to me. There is no cure. Your game is lost. |
